Three days later, Cloud Sky City, plus the previous six hundred subordinates, reached a total of 870 people, while Cloud One City and Cloud Two City had always maintained full populations of 8448 people each!
“Finally, it’s harvest season again.” Ye Yun stood on the city wall, quietly awaiting the brand new New Mortal Continent. Big Wind Novels
…
“New Mortal Continent Announcement: Congratulations to the human player ‘Jie Ming’ for obtaining first place in this round, earning 8.35 million points. Rewards include one legendary equipment item of their choice, 100,000 spirit stones, 88 Godhead Shards, 1 Battle Power Manifestation Card, 1 Skill Manifestation Card, 1 Physical Manifestation Card, and 1 Dragon Pill!”
…
“New Mortal Continent Announcement: Congratulations to the human player ‘Jie Ming’s’ territory ‘Cloud Sky City’ for obtaining first place, earning 8.41 million points. Rewards include ten of the territory’s guards with one billion points added to each of their attributes, 5,000 spirit stones for each resident player within the territory, 1,000,000 spirit stones for the lord, and 1 Heavenly Martial Stone!”
As expected, both first places fell to Ye Yun. The astonishing over eight million points rendered the second place finisher with only a hundred thousand to two hundred thousand points dim in comparison.
Ye Yun’s attention was not on the system notifications. He was waiting for the commission from this round’s rewards. Compared to the commission, the first-place rewards were quite meager.
“System Notification: The player has obtained 40.596 million spirit stones as commission from the three cities’ players. The system is currently processing the distribution, please wait…”
Yoho, this Heavenly Dao’s notification seemed rather reluctant!
Including the rewards for two first places, Ye Yun instantly gained nearly forty-two million spirit stones! Ye Yun’s face bloomed like a chrysanthemum, his mood exceptionally beautiful. This was pure profit!
Ten beams of brilliant light shot up on the city wall, and the strength of the ten city guards was boosted for the fourth time. Their attribute points skyrocketed again, and their current attribute points were comparable to some Tier Two Hong Beasts! The earliest Dwarf, ‘Italian Cannon,’ had combat power comparable to a Tier Three Hong Beast.
It could be said that these ten city guards had already formed a certain combat strength. If this continued, Ye Yun believed these ten individuals would definitely be able to overlook this land.
“Master, where do you wish to be this time?” Yue Di stood behind Ye Yun. He had followed Ye Yun for over a month and had some understanding of Ye Yun’s personality, but he still maintained a good grasp of prioritizing the principal over the subordinate.
“Right here.” Ye Yun unfurled his Flowing Wind Wings and descended directly to the ground below Cloud Sky City, awaiting the reset of the New Mortal Continent.
Ye Yun was filled with anticipation for this “Flame Burning the World” skill, as its range was five times larger than before, encompassing almost the entire New Mortal Continent.
Ye Yun believed that many players possessed such a skill, but it tested not only the player’s own attack power but also their True Qi.
This time, he wondered how many levels he could gain and how many spirit stones he would acquire.
Aside from these two, Ye Yun was completely uninterested in the mountain of equipment fragments. Ye Yun already had enough fragments in his inventory to craft over ten legendary equipment items, but what of it? The lowest usage level requirement was 75! They could only gather dust until later, to be given to the Dragon Palace members to accumulate a set of legendary equipment for each person.
“New Mortal Continent Announcement: The seventy-first season has begun. All players, please continue to strive.”
“It’s finally here!” Ye Yun looked up at Cloud Sky City shrouded in mist, his heart filled with excitement.
“Flame Burning the World!”
A ring of fire spread outwards from Ye Yun’s body, disappearing at the edge of the horizon at light speed. Ye Yun’s terrifying True Qi was actually consumed by one-third!
Within less than two seconds, endless flames instantly covered the entire New Mortal Continent, even the Bitter Sea to the south was engulfed for two million kilometers. Any creature on the surface, whether player or Hong Beast, or even the rare low-level Desolate Beast, would instantly perish under this flame, with no exceptions.
Numerous players had just emerged from the Bitter Sea and hadn’t even had time to check their surroundings after respawning, only to be plunged back into the Bitter Sea with gurgling sounds, without even a chance to complain.
“New Mortal Continent—Jie Ming: Those who wish to live, those who wish to continue accumulating wealth on the New Mortal Continent, are welcome to join our Cloud Sky City branch!”
…
Two consecutive continental voice advertisements caused countless surviving players to curse loudly, while players in the Bitter Sea raged in the real world.
However, after calming down, they fell into silence again.
“Damn it, the advertising fee is too expensive! One voice ad costs a million spirit stones! On Blue Star, that could buy dozens of TV stations to advertise for me!” Ye Yun grumbled as he excitedly watched the torrents of people converging towards him from all directions. That was all money!
“System Notification: Congratulations to the player for killing 1.09 million alien players above the Sealed Emperor Realm, destroying 28,465 player cities, 2 Star Cities, gaining 86.5874 trillion experience points (double), 1.2416 trillion gold coins, 1,201,008 spirit stones, and reducing the cooldown of ‘Gold Touch’ by 29,756 hours.”
“System Notification: Congratulations to the player for killing a total of 3 million Hong Beasts of all levels, 10,000 low-level Desolate Beasts, 2,000 mid-level Desolate Beasts, and 10 high-level Desolate Beasts, gaining 754.2 billion experience points (double), 22.45 million spirit stones, 980,000 drops of Hong Beast essence blood, 620,000 Myriad Manifestation Stones, 65,000 Cloud Expansion Tokens, 12,000 Water Repelling Beads… 1 Dragon Pill, 1 Azure Dragon Essence Blood, 1 Dragon Scale, Gold Willow Knife Fragment…, reducing the cooldown of the ‘Gold Touch’ skill point by 68,156 hours, with ‘Gold Touch’ having a remaining cooldown of 56,154 hours.”
In the sky, countless spirit stones and various colored items surged like waves, instantly engulfing Ye Yun’s figure. Amidst the piles of spirit stones, ten golden dragon phantoms soared into the sky for the third time. Ye Yun’s long-stagnant level rose by three levels in this surge, reaching level 56.
“Master’s power is simply invincible!” Zhan Tian, the leader of the Heavenly Gang Race, exclaimed as he looked at the endless converging resources.
“Indeed, with such a master, why would we seven races worry about not rising? This is probably the only correct choice our ancestors made.” Yue Di stood on the city wall, the firelight illuminating his face and baking his fervent heart.
“Marshal Yue, according to the Master’s voice announcement, should we consider abandoning our current team’s strength enhancement and then establishing branch cities?” Shuishanquan, the leader of the Water Tribe, asked Yue Di with a cupped fist.
“Master’s strength is unparalleled, naturally attracting many players to join. With the current scale of the two branch cities, it is far from meeting those requirements. I think San Qian’s suggestion is feasible,” the Feng Shui Master nodded and said, fanning an ebony fan.
“I second that,” Ye Le also agreed.
“Alright, then you all arrange for people to depart. Additionally, aside from this branch city, our seven races will establish seven more exclusive cities for our seven races, also under the banner of Master’s branch city. Let’s bring over those clansmen who meet the requirements in their respective mortal realms,” Yue Di said after a moment of silence.
“Exclusive branch cities for our seven races? That’s great! With this, the overall strength of our seven races will increase at a terrifying speed!” Several people’s eyes lit up upon hearing Yue Di’s words.
Now, they had long placed Ye Yun’s interests first, followed by their own families. For Ye Yun, what he needed was enough branch cities and enough players to exploit. For the seven races, even if they were stripped of ninety percent of their gains on the New Mortal Continent, the benefits they earned far surpassed those of the mortal realms by hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of times!
“Marshal Yue, the leader of the Frogmen tribe just sent a message, hoping to merge their Algae City into our Cloud Sky City as a branch city. However, after I explained the matters of branch cities to him, he requested a fifty-fifty split.” At this moment, Zhan Tian, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
Algae City? Hiss…
Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly shocked.
That was one of the five major star-rated territories in the New Mortal Continent. Although it had just become a one-star territory, its potential was immense, as this territory was located in this marshland…
“I also received a similar request from the Winged Race…”
“We did too…”
In an instant, several people reported the messages they had received. Yue Di was now completely bewildered.
Having mingled in the New Mortal Continent for several years, he was naturally well aware of the various factions here. However, how could territories so far north and south, with such a vast difference from Cloud Sky City, suddenly pledge allegiance?
Yue Di was in a state of disarray…
It seemed as if the entire New Mortal Continent had surrendered at Ye Yun’s feet, with all races paying homage…
